Prerequisites Component The component is the central, reusable unit of the application project. You can create any number of views in a component and arrange them in any number of windows.

Component Usages Web Dynpro components can be nested. This means that you can integrate any number of other, already existing components into a component.

View The view is the smallest unit of a Web Dynpro application visible for the user. The layout elements and dialog elements - for example, tables, text fields, or buttons - required for the application are arranged in a view.

The view contains a controller and a controller context in which the application data to be processed is stored in a hierarchical structure. This allows the linking of the graphical elements with the application data.

Window A window is used to group multiple views and to specify the navigation between the views. A view can only

displayed by the browser if the view is embedded in a window.

Creating Web Dynpro Go to SE80 and select Web Dynpro Comp./Intf. and provide the name(say ZZZ_JAYTEST3) to create. Then enter the description and choose the type as Web Dynpro Component.

Mention the Component Use as ALV and Component as SALV_WD_TABLE in the Used Components tab in Web Dynpro (ZZZ_JAYTEST3).
